New York casinos are raking in more gambling revenue this year than they did during the first half of 2022, according to state regulators.
The state’s 14 commercial NY casinos are 7% ahead of last year’s record-setting pace through June, based on data from the New York State Gaming Commission. According to the commission, the nontribal gambling facilities combined for $882.4 million this year versus $820.7 million through the same period last year.
The Empire State gambling industry has been gaining more and more attention since legal online sports betting catapulted NY into the largest market in the country. With three downstate NY casinos on the horizon and online gambling expansion becoming a possibility in the next couple of years, the state is positioning itself to be a major player.
